GREEN BAY, Wis. — Brown County Circuit Judge Marc Hammer has declined a request to permanently seal evidence in the criminal case involving Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs. The motion was filed by attorneys representing Jacobs’ former girlfriend, who cited her privacy and Jacobs’ decision to accept responsibility in the criminal proceeding. Hammer did not issue a written opinion. Instead, he marked the proposed order “electronically declined.” The judge made the decision Tuesday, and the document was filed Thursday, according to court records. Jacobs pleaded no contest last week to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property charges in a deal with prosecutors. Hammer ordered Jacobs to pay a $1,000 fine for the battery charge and placed the property-damage charge under a deferred judgment. That charge is scheduled to be dismissed after one year if Jacobs commits no further crimes, avoids contact with the victim, submits to 12 months of supervision, completes a battery-related course and pays restitution. The case stems from an alleged May 23 incident at Jacobs’ home. Prosecutors said Jacobs threw his girlfriend to the ground and damaged her phone. The criminal complaint said video from the residence corroborated relevant portions of the woman’s account. Hammer previously issued an order temporarily sealing evidence in the case after Jacobs entered his pleas. Hobart-Lawrence Police on Tuesday denied a request for case records and video, citing that court order. The judge’s latest action means the request for a permanent seal has not been approved, though the temporary sealing order remains part of the records-access dispute. Jacobs remains on the NFL commissioner’s exempt list and is not permitted to practice or play while the league investigates. An NFL spokesperson declined to comment on the ongoing investigation.
